Re: Is it SS or something else?

Yes, of course, Chad. I realized that later. I'm still getting educated.

Re: change of username

Hey Bill,
I have found another person posting on other Ruger forums as Carbineguy. In light of that, I would like to change my ROCS user name to Ruger8r, if that is OK with you guys.

Re: Is it SS or something else?

Metalife is a type of hard chrome finish that is probably the best known among a few companies that do/did it. I recently picked up an RB32 (6530) that I thought was SS at first. It is still a fairly rare and handsome revolver and lighter than SS. It came with the O box and contents and aftermarket ...

Re: Bisley Single Seven model 8168

Thank you. Sorry about the name confusion.

Re: Bisley Single Seven model 8168

Thanks, Terry. I'm sure proud to own it.
I wonder if there have been other single-action revolvers shipped without the barrel roll mark. I don't recall seeing anything in RENE but I haven't read everything.

Re: Bisley Single Seven model 8168

Thanks for your comments, gentlemen. I'm still a little giddy over this one. Can't believe it fell in my lap and I didn't notice its uniqueness until later. The previous owner polished the cylinder face to remove powder residue but some spots remained on the frame. So, since it has been fired, now I...

Bisley Single Seven model 8168

If you subscribe to the Red Eagle News Exchange you might have seen this gun listed on Gunbroker and recognized it as one of only TWELVE examples made because Chad listed all 12 serial numbers in Vol. 40 #1. Strangely, it was listed in the Single Six section at nearly double the MSRP and I was the o...

Last week the cheapest was .89@ at White Birch. So I bought some. Now look.
